A fisherman named Richard Shaw Burke was missing, until the fragments of his shirt were found inside a huge octopus.
Burke, as usual, fished in calm waters along the western coast of Tasmania however a sudden wave overturned his boat and took the fisherman to the open sea.
Shortly after the incident, Richard was sent to search search squad. Lifeguards for several days carefully combed the entire coast, trying to find at least some Signs that the sea threw Richard ashore. However search did not give results and the fisherman was officially declared missing to lead.
A year after the tragic incident with Richard in the same two young men went fishing and unexpectedly For themselves, they caught something incredibly huge on their nets. Originally young people suggested that it was eel. What a surprise fishermen when they found a giant octopus in their nets (the largest of those that before came across the network of fishermen that area).
The length of the octopus was more than 12 feet (more than 3 and a half meters) long and 3 feet (slightly less than a meter) wide. When the octopus was cut, a piece of tissue was found inside his abdomen. how it turned out that this fabric is very similar to the fabric of the shirt in which it was Burke dressed precisely on that ill-fated day when he disappeared without a trace. Most likely, the unfortunate fisherman was pulled to a depth and strangled with its tentacles a creature caught in the net. Although another is possible turn of events: the octopus could detect the already dead body of the fisherman and to consume it with food.
What exactly happened, unfortunately, will remain a secret buried in the depths of the sea … By the way, octopuses can to hunt even on land.
